I don't get it - I'm fine

Well, inmates in prison cells are fed relatively the same diet as I am. I don't believe everything associations and organizations tell me - I expierment and create new paradigms of consumption patterns

OK
Here is what I ate today|

2.8 Bananas
1 piece of raisin toast with peanut butter (loaded with)
1.6 cups of Special K Fruit and Yogurt Ceral
1 Pint of Blueberries
4 sticks of celery
1.2 Cups of Raisin Bran
2 Cups of Skim Milk

So I take it you are vegetarian? That sounds like a mostly plant based, vegetarian diet with plenty of carbs. Actually, you are better off eating a lot of veggies.

Also, if you eat peanut butter every day, you could develop an allergy so you might want to consider that. You could become allergic to your favorite food. Too much of a good thing.

Oh good. I thought for a moment that you meant that an organization chaired by total nitwits couldn't possibly wrong. It's good that you figure things out for yourself. That's what eventually made me decide that grains were most definitely not healthy.

I don't deliberately void meat from my diet, but I suppose you could classify me as a person who does not eat meat not a vegan as I deliberately do not buy meat, but will eat it when offered to me.

I meant vegetarian because you drink milk and use butter. Vegans are the ones who avoid all animal products.

No one begrudges you your choice of diet but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

I would. Not only is it absolutely delicious, it also helped me lose 140lbs. And reversed all of my health problems.

Whatever you say. I do know weight can be quickly lost that way, but it's not for everyone. I know what you mean about protein v carbs since I am a borderline diabetic and am physically better off with more protein than carbohydrates. However, I wouldn't gorge myself on bacon and eggs everyday. I prefer to stick with chicken and fish and eggs every now and then. That way I know my diet is lower in saturated fat. I prefer to use olive oil instead of lard and butter. I prefer Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray, too.
As a matter of fact, my mother was on the Atkin's diet then developed heart disease and underwent chelation therapy. She is much better now but doesn't eat a diet of meat anymore.

blueberries, celery and bananas added in....that's more like it

On paper the prison diet looks ok. At least in the claims of this wiki (varies by prison presumably)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_food

It actually does seem pretty similar to your diet (now that your diet has some fruits and vegetables added in ). The difference may be in the quality of the ingredients (yours being better quality) or maybe not. I have no idea what quality ingredients prison institutions use. It may be just the same as any other institution of whatever country. Prisons, school cafeterias and long term care institutions probably all buy from the same supplier.

I know someone who went from like 140lbs to like 100 with prison food. He was only in for like 3 months and couldn't buy commissary.

Although I'm not a dietician and not qualified to have an opinion on this, I'd say the P-butter/eggs/tuna/cereal/oatmeal diet is OK. Only thing I think should also be there, is vegetables or fruit of some kind, but the oat meal gives grain and fiber, and if you're taking supplements for vitamins, that covers some of the vegetable role. Peanut butter is fatty, but it's not a "bad fat" like animal lard, etc. Bottom line is; if it works, it works!

I eat a very limited diet as well, very similar to yours, and as you point out, it saves big $$$ on grocery bills, and it's all done in the microwave, and I don't even have the gas turned on for the stove and oven! I do eat red meat and chicken now & then, but not regularly.

Some people get fat on prison food because of all the starches. They go to prison and gain weight, not lose. I would probably lose in prison because I am sure the food is disgusting so I wouldn't eat much of it.

A: Just because you're fine, it doesn't mean everyone else is.

B: I do largely live on the staples my ancestors have lived on for hundreds of years, dairy, meat, fish, poultry, eggs and garden fresh vegetables. Why don't I sympathize with the 3rd world? They could have sorted their s**t like European-based countries did years ago (no racism).

To be fair they had started (Zulu empire) when the british began colonising.
